Using the Alarm Configuration Tab

The Alarm Configuration tab allows you to define priorities, colors, and sounds for each alarm type. This controls the behavior for future alarms when they appear in the Alarms List tool (see “Using the Alarm Displays”).

The Alarm Configuration tab is comprised of pages for different alarm configuration options. The pages are provided in sub‑tabs, which are described in the following sections.

• Understanding the Behavior Tab

• Understanding the Mapping Tab

• Understanding the Priorities Tab

• Understanding the Classes Tab

• Understanding the Categories Tab

• Understanding the Attributes Tab

Understanding the Behavior Tab

The Behavior tab consists of:

• A table containing the configuration rules (definitions) for all alarms and buttons for working with the alarm definitions.

• Alarm Definition Preview Panes

• The Active Alarms table displays how a selected alarm definition would look in the Web Workspace Alarms list (See “Understanding the Alarms List”).

• The Alarm History table displays how a selected alarm definition would look in the Web Workspace Alarm History (“Understanding the Alarm History List”).
